Given the recent news about Plex soon charging for remote access, I wanted to finish up my switch to Jellyfin.

What tools/methods have you all used to migrate watch history to Jellyfin?

I have a few family members in there, and would like to get everything switched over without resetting their watch history.

I think this is the tool you are looking for: https://github.com/luigi311/JellyPlex-Watched

I haven't used it myself but I plan on it eventually when I do make the switch.

I recently made the switch, worked pretty well :)

I think that's the one i use, I had a few mobile users not be able to watch plex in the past so I installed jellyfin and that so they could go back and forth

Thanks! Looks like it will work.
